Day 555 | I See Red, I See Red, I See Red.... Pandas.
School holiday time for a lot of us at the minute so I grabbed a sneaky mid-week day off and headed with the family to Tasmania zoo.
With the last few months being as tough as they have for small business, families and pretty much everyone, we took a sec to think about what it would be like for places like the zoo and the animal folk that live there.
Now whether you’re a fan of zoos/wildlife parks or not it became super obvious today that a majority of the animals were stoked to have people back giving them attention. The keepers were excited and full of information and we heard stories about how hard they worked while the zoo was closed to make sure that the animals got as much love as they could give them while they updated and upgraded their facility like champions well beyond their limits. They were proud of the better setups they’ve created for their furry friends.
It’s amazing how people are out supporting hospitality, retail and back having a crack at the housing market but do me a favour in these holidays, head to a zoo and make sure that these great people (lots are volunteers) are rewarded for giving the animals a little piece of their heart everyday. You never know, you might even be able to feed a couple of hungry Red Pandas some grapes!
